Wang Lu hung her head dejectedly, unable to retort. She could only blame herself for bringing a fool like Zhou Wen over. She had already told him not to shatter the cup, but he had smashed the cup, causing the water to spill all over the table. It was a tragic sight.
"Uncle, I'll head back first," Wang Lu said as she stood up.
"Wait a minute." Zhou Wen sat there without moving and even called out to Wang Lu.
Wang Guotao couldn't help but frown slightly as he looked at Zhou Wen and said, "Young man, although your surname isn't An, you are ultimately a member of the An family. You should know your limits."
Zhou Wen didn't defend himself because it wasn't worth wasting his breath explaining to unrelated people.
Pointing at the table, Zhou Wen said, "Uncle, please evaluate my palm strike. What's the standard of your Wang family's younger generation?"
"The result is obvious. Do you still need to evaluate it?" Wang Guotao said.
"In that case, Uncle, are you allowing Wang Lu to stay on campus to cultivate?" Zhou Wen asked Wang Guotao.
Wang Guotao was so infuriated by Zhou Wen that he laughed. He looked at Zhou Wen and said, "It's rare for young people to disregard their pride like you. However, if you really want Xiaolu's good, you should let her go home to cultivate. Alright, you can go back."
Wang Guotao's words were clearly saying that Zhou Wen was shameless, but Zhou Wen remained unmoved. "I don't know if returning to cultivate is a good choice for Wang Lu, but since I made a promise, shouldn't you let Wang Lu choose if she wants to return or not?"
Even someone as cultured as Wang Guotao couldn't help but turn cold when he heard Zhou Wen's words. "I originally wanted to leave you some face, but since you don't want it, don't blame me for being blunt. At your standard, you're only about the same as a child who has just entered the Wang family. At most, you have some brute force. There's no need to evaluate you."
Wang Guotao was somewhat infuriated as well. He wondered why Zhou Wen didn't know when to back down. He got up and prepared to leave, no longer wishing to speak to the annoying Zhou Wen.
"Zhou Wen, let's go back." She knew Wang Guotao's temper. It was impossible to fool him.
Zhou Wen didn't move as he continued sitting in front of the table. Then, he extended his hand and pushed the teacup fragments to the side. He looked at Wang Guotao and said, "Uncle, please wait. Are you sure that a child who just entered your manor can do this? In that case, please demonstrate it for me so that I will be convinced of my defeat. "
Wang Lu originally wanted Zhou Wen to stop talking, but when her gaze landed on the table, she immediately exclaimed as she looked at the table in surprise.
Wang Guotao originally didn't wish to bother with Zhou Wen. It was beneath his status to pester him, but when he heard Wang Lu's exclamation, he couldn't help but turn around and see Wang Lu staring intently at the table. Wang Guotao followed her gaze.
With this look, Wang Guotao's pupils constricted as his eyes widened, forming a strong contrast.
He saw that there were tea-shaped patterns on the yellowish-black natural wood grain table. On careful look, it wasn't a pattern. It was clearly tea leaves that had been forcefully pressed into the table. The tea leaves weren't damaged at all, and the stalk was clear. It looked like the original patterns on the wooden table.
"Impossible!" Wang Guotao walked to the table again and reached out to push away the fragments of the teacup. Soon, he realized that there were no tea leaves in the teacup fragments. There wasn't a single tea leaf in the tea that had scattered.
Wang Guotao almost couldn't believe his eyes. It was true that he had relied on Yin force to smash the teacup into the table, but porcelain was quite hard after all. However, tea leaves were fragile. After being soaked in water, they would rot with just a little force. How could he smash them into the wood?
The strength of Zhou Wen's palm had shattered the cup, and the tea leaves inside had slammed into the wooden table without any damage. Wang Guotao found it impossible no matter how he thought about it.
Wang Guotao reached out to touch the tea leaves. With a slight force, the tea leaves immediately rotted. He could clearly see the leaf marks left on the table.
It's not fake? Wang Guotao was stunned again as he stared blankly at the table. He really couldn't figure out how Zhou Wen had done it.
By the side, Wang Lu said in surprise and delight, "You actually smashed the tea leaves into the wooden table without any damage. How did you do it?"
"It's not difficult. I just learned a little trick in school. I wonder what level such a trick is at in the Wang family?" Zhou Wen was talking to Wang Lu, but his eyes were looking at Wang Guotao.
Wang Guotao looked at Zhou Wen with a complicated expression. He really couldn't do it. He had never seen such Yin force before.
Wang Guotao took a deep breath before asking Zhou Wen, "Is this a trick you learned in school?"
"Yes, I learned it a few days ago after reading a post on the school forum." Zhou Wen knew that even if he could do what Wang Guotao did and smash the teacup into the table, Wang Guotao probably wouldn't really let Wang Lu stay.
He had to prove that what he learned in school was better than what he learned in the Wang family. Only then would Wang Guotao really consider letting Wang Lu stay.
"Uncle, I don't think any of my siblings can reach Zhou Wen's level, right? You're not allowed to go back on your word, "Wang Lu said happily.
Wang Guotao looked at the tea leaves that had sunk into the table with a complicated expression. After a while, he said to Wang Lu, "You can stay, but I'll send someone to test you every month. If you don't meet the test standards, you have to return immediately."
"Uncle, thank you. That's great." Wang Lu was overjoyed as she pulled Zhou Wen up. "Zhou Wen, let's go."
"Wait, Little Lu, pay the bill first. I have something to say to Zhou Wen," Wang Guotao stopped Wang Lu and said.
Seeing Wang Lu look at him in doubt, Wang Guotao said with a smile, "Don't worry. I'm not that despicable. I just want to ask a few questions about you. I'm afraid Zhou Wen won't dare tell the truth in front of you."
"Uncle, just ask me directly if you have anything to say," Wang Lu said.
"Pay the bill," Wang Guotao repeated.
Wang Lu had no choice but to obediently pay the bill. However, before she left, she kept giving Zhou Wen a look as though she was warning him to be careful with his words.
After Wang Lu left, Wang Guotao said, "Zhou Wen, how's your relationship with Little Lu?"
"Not bad," Zhou Wen answered truthfully.
Wang Guotao nodded slightly before saying to Zhou Wen, "If you really want Little Lu's good, I hope you can maintain a certain distance from her in the future."
"Why?" Zhou Wen frowned.
"Because you're Wang Mingyuan's student," Wang Guotao said simply.
"I understand. Uncle, don't worry. Wang Lu and I are just ordinary friends." Zhou Wen didn't retort.
